Maximize your machine’s performance: Performing precise linear motor drive control and nanoscale positioning, the PMAC (Programmable Multi Axis Controller) has been appreciated by manufacturers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other leading-edge equipment. Omron now offers a next generation motion controller CK3M that packs PMAC’s superior motion control capability, multi-vendor connectivity, and flexible development capability into its compact design.
Festo’s heavy duty VTSA series valve terminal family keeps expanding – this time, it’s the VTSA-F-CB, with serial communications added to the existing parallel communications capability. That means fewer components and reduced wiring within the same installation space.
Since 2008, the Linear Motion Designer has been the first choice when it comes to calculating and dimensioning Rexroth Linear Motion Technology components – and it is being improved all the time.
The LBR40 is a slim, stackable linear rotary actuator with a SMAC HT35 direct drive brushless motor.
Omron Automation Americas recently launched the HD-1500 mobile robot that can handle bulky objects weighing up to 1500kg.
Linear Variable Inductance Transducers (LVITs) from Alliance Sensors Group convert the linear displacement of an object into a proportional electrical signal output of 0-10V or 4-20mA (depending on model). LVITs are contactless devices designed for dimension or position measuring applications where the sensing element cannot be attached to the object being measured.
